SUMMER WEEN!! MONSTER!! | Gravity Falls Episode 12 Reaction

Telling Dipper, at age 12, not into trick or treating anymore that he's "throwing his childhood away" when you said you quit at 9 is actually crazy

[@BramLastname]

It's the good ol' do as I say, not as I do.

[@loco_logic]

Dipper is blamed no matter what he does. Poor guy just can't win 😂

[@danshive4017]

Context. Dipper was into it before he got a case of the Wendies. He's throwing away something he wanted to do because of a crush making him want to appear more mature. That's the throwing away of his childhood.

[@shovknight3008]

Well she could mean that since Dipper clearly enjoys it and is only trying to stop because of peer pressure that he is wasting is childhood while she stopped simply because she wasn’t interested in it.

[@sebastien-loikntsangou-kan5264]

​​​​@@sarafontanini7051I don't think that's the case for this scenario (or the majority of the show for that matter). Dipper probably thought Wendy would think he was making up the story as an excuse.

5:13 - Originally, there was suppose to be "bottles will be spun", but Disney's S&P didn't want to make it sound like "make out party". After bit of back and forth, "Not S&P approved" was approved by S&P (which is arguably, WAY worse sounding.)

I went to a book signing event by Alex Hirsch (creator of Gravity Falls) and he said that he was shocked to see the goofy made up holiday they made to justify a Halloween plot in a summer-only show actually being celebrated in real life Like he saw articles talking about it and how it all tied back to Gravity Falls and surreal feeling of it all.

stopped trick or treating at 14; at high school age we couldn't fake being little cuties for candy anymore. We also went to the rich neighborhoods with pillow cases to fill, so we had a good motivation to keep doing it. The older kids passing out candy weren't allowed to eat any, so once I was old enough to party I started going to those. Never stopped dressing up in costumes tho.

[@leighferdgames1593]

You could just.. y’know not dress up as something “cute” and do like a horror character

Stopped at 16. My last year, I went out as normal, but when we got to the door, I'd pull my hairband over my eyes, hold my hands behind my back, and say I was dressed as a hostage.

HELL YEAH rich town trick-or-treating! my older brother is 10 years older than me, and 15 years older than my sister. we used to go crazy with the quality of our costumes and hit up all the rich suburbs around Boston, and he'd get half of the candy, which I was honestly fine with; we were killing it.

[@Bondrewd__21]

Actually, fun fact. In Russia, Ukraine and Belorussia there is a holiday called “Ivan-Kupalo” It is really old Slavic holiday, that celebrated at night. By one of the legends about it, deep in the woods on fern will bloom a magical flower, that could grant a wish, but at the same time on that night all the evil forces will awake to take the wish granting flower. The whole holiday traditionally celebrated at night from July 6 to July 7. People usually make a flower crowns, play, wash their faces with dew, and jump over the fire and watch as the sun rises.

I still remember a bunch of my Halloween costumes back in the day. One time, I was dressed as the Grim Reaper. I was… 8 or 9, maybe? I had a black cloak, a scythe, and an all-black face mask with red, glowing lights in place of “eyes.” It was kinda hard to see, but I made my way. Mom was either walking or driving alongside me while I walked down the neighborhood. Apparently my costume was convincing, cuz few kids avoided me. When I went up to houses, I might’ve shocked a few adults… 😅 the memory’s a bit fuzzy… I raised up my bag, and said in the driest, raspiest voice I could muster, “triiiick oooorr treeeeaat”

5:14 The party flyer, has this really hilarious Easter egg to it. One of the things on it says not “S&P approved” This is actually a dig at the sensors on Disney that Alex kept on having correspondence with because of one joke or another in every episode where he had to fight for it, but they kept wanting to deny it because it could have been inappropriate. Originally the flyer was going to say “bottles will be spun” But they didn’t approve of it because they said that it would promote kissing. And that’s just one of so many times in which they tried to censor something. You could probably even look up on KZbin and find a video where Alex Hersh had posted his back-and-forth correspondence with S&P and it is hilarious what they didn’t approve of. I mean, Alex had to fight to keep a joke in headhunters where Shakespeare starts a limerick, “There once was a dude from Kentucky…” They wanted it removed because it would lead to inappropriate language.

[@CajunCrustacean]

I grew up way out in the boonies, so i think we only ever went out trick or treating two or three times when i was a kid. The rich neighborhood wasn't even an option since it was gated. My wife had a pretty similar deal growing up in such a middle of nowhere town that I'm pretty sure Courage the Cowardly Dog was her neighbor. So now we've been taking our kids trick or treating every year, and it's been great. Last year we got pirate costumes, but stuck CDs to our pirate hats and decorated with USB sticks and old ethernet cables to be a crew of software pirates.

[@TheLoneReni]

I was trick or treating until I was 16 but the neighborhood encouraged teens to get out to get candy and dress up because then they weren't out making mischief. Even this past year we encouraged plenty of teens to come get treats and adults too when we were passing stuff out this year. It was nice to see. Halloween should be for everyone, not just little kids.

A big theme of this show and source of tension between Dipper and Mabel is the fact that Dipper is ready to grow up and Mabel is still happy being a kid. There's nothing wrong with either of those things. Sometimes Dipper is selfish and sometimes Mabel is selfish, but they both learn to overcome it for each other. The problem is the fans reaction to it. If Dipper was selfish, he was seen as in the wrong. If Mabel was selfish, Dipper was seen as in the wrong. It was the whole "Mabel can never be wrong and Dipper is a selfish ass" attitude that a large part of the fanbase had that made some fans hate Mabel.

[@NakanaiJP]

I would say it's less "fans' reaction" and more "how it is framed in the show." You could argue that it's an incorrect reading of the show, but I always felt that the anti-Mabel sentiment is a reaction to the show itself, not other parts of the fandom.

[@Kintsugi13-nr9nf]

@@NakanaiJP I can see your point. Like, I said Dipper was ready to grow up and Mabel was still happy just being a kid, but rather then let him, Mabel tried to hold Dipper back.

Marshmallow candy is probably one of those things companies make with lots of leftover sweeteners. Like those little "juice" drinks in tiny plastic barrels.

[@katze316]

Candy corn is loser candy for the same reason circus peanuts are. It isn't that they're bad candy; I used love them both. It's because they come in giant bags and aren't individually wrapped; so you get a couple random pieces that have had someone's hands all over them. That, and they usually end up mushed and gross at the bottom of the bucket.

For Halloween I did a Jack-o-Melon, only 1 trick or treater got the reference so they got triple. I stopped trick or treating at 18. Last costume I went all out and dressed as a woman, everyone bought it until I opened my mouth. This was before the LGBT was really accepted so this stunt was not "cool." The looks on their faces was worth it though! I even shadowed my school mate for awhile and called him out for staring at my legs so much. His disgust and horror alone made my last year great.

A friend if mine in freshman year came to school in a hat and said he was dressed as his dad and as his friend i gathered everyone i could to make sure we rigged every costume contest to make sure he won.

I stopped trick or treating at 12. i was big for my age, and a bunch of teens thought i was older and made fun of me till i went home.

I don't remember when I stopped trick or treating, but it was fairly young. I think it had more do with moving to a new neighborhood that had little to no trick or treating houses so we stopped, and by the time we moved to a better neighborhood for it we were "too old" to trick or treat anymore But what few years I had were better than what kids have today, I am old, we didn't have a city mandated curfew, it was just until the lights were all out, and we filled up pillow sacks. Heck I have stopped handing out candy because of the two hour time limit this city I live in has on it for kids...my neighborhood isn't one for big candy and few houses hand it out and my house up off the street so my porchlight isn't even visible one block either way...and the houses on either side of me don't even have their lights on...I have sat there in costume really do scare and hand out candy only to see most families walk right by as by the time they are at an angle to see my porch light it is usually behind them with a tree...I have no idea why they all walk in the same direction on the sidewalk....despite my yard full of terrifying home made decorations. I make life size Halloween puppets, was going to turn my garage into a demonic circus for Halloween once I made enough of them but...eh like I said it fizzled out in my neighborhood and a few years of raining and i also stopped handing out candy. What few kids would come up were in that two hour time crunch and not even looking at the decorations, running past them, getting the candy, and running to the next house. I still love Halloween and the aesthetics, I just push for a return to Halloween parties.

Yeah, Noh Face was a direct inspiration for the Trickster. Good job noticing that Alicia!

[@thebrokenpuppet2714]

I stopped trick or treating when I turned 14.

I recommend watching “Roadside Attraction” in season 2 just before “Northwest Manor Mystery”. The episode order doesn’t really make sense without that alteration.🙂👍 Edit: also, that flyer that Wendy gave Dipper once had one line say “bottles will be spun” or something.

[@thespoderjedi8079]

i don’t know why but as a kid i thought Soos was gonna be the trickster and they were gonna pull some Scooby Doo crap. i was a strange kid

15:34 or the one of the car driving down the hill and a zombie pops out of nowhere as the car goes around the bend, or the rocking chair one

"Summerween": Ghosts, Goblins, and Jack-O-Melons on June 22nd! 8:48 Check out the "Bob's Burgers" episode, "Full Bars.";)

[@rojfm7081]

I have never trick or treated Not even once Tho everyone else where I live have.

[@cerberus01]

The age difference between Dipper and Wendy isn't all that significant, not Scott Pilgrim and Knives age difference. It's about 2 to 3 years, Wendy is 15 years old, Dipper and Mabel have their 13th birthday by the end of summer.

[@thebrokenpuppet2714]

I feel like the younger you are the bigger even small age differences feel. 3 years in general is usually not noteworthy, but when you’re 12, it kind of is.

[@michaelcarlton1484]

Literally the next year they would both be in high school.

[@bungiecrimes7247]

tnickless/teentickles thought the same thing......

[@MrWanton16]

in terms of actual number it ain't much but for the stages that they are at developmentally it is.

[@georgev3433]

Look Candy Corn is like this candy hearts on Valentine’s, it’s good to have a few but that’s enough for a year.

[@Pablo360able]

Candy corn is definitely loser candy. It's sugary styrofoam. I love it.

[@sebastianemond5313]

We need to make Summerween a real event. Please, people! It'd be like a second Christmas for us who like spooky s-t, and seeing how we're getting a Christmas themed Terrifier sequel soon, it's becoming a trend. Hashtag: Make Summerween Happen!

[@redacted1766]
